Oracle · Senior/Principal Full-Stack Software Engineer · ONSITE in Seattle, WA · Relocation Assistance · Full-Time

The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) team builds and operates a suite of massive scale, integrated cloud services in a broadly distributed, multi-tenant cloud environment. We offer unique opportunities for smart, hands-on engineers with the expertise and passion for solving challenging problems.

We're looking for talented frontend and full-stack developers, with a minimum of 2 years experience, who are proficient in JavaScript/TypeScript, React and Redux; some of our legacy code is in ClojureScript.

If you'd like to have a quick chat about what it's like to build a cloud, please reach out to me at paul.borza@oracle.com, and I'll be happy to talk to you. Thanks!

I was one of the Google Summer of Code "interns" for OpenMoko back in 2008. I was so excited to get the free OpenMoko device and actually implemented gesture recognition and screen orientation for the device part of the GSoC project. Here's a video of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2S2rQUETwc

But let me tell you about the device:

1. You couldn't even make a phone call with it. There was a hardware bug that stopped it from making phone calls. It was basically a PDA...

2. If the battery ever ran out, you couldn't start the phone anymore. You had to have a spare Nokia phone that you'd use to charge that battery. Thank god they were using Nokia-compatible batteries. The gist was, never ever to let the phone's battery reach 0%.

3. The development of any UX components was cumbersome. They always insisted in supporting GTK and another platform which I forgot its name. They were such a small team and yet they were building two projects which essentially were doing the same thing. Why?!

Those three were just a few problems. The Freerunner was definitely not a user-friendly phone.

I've started exercising seriously last September. I've been waking up at 5am on Monday, Wednesday and Friday since then and never felt better. I'm 31. I was always super skinny, but that's no longer the case now.

I've gained 25lbs since then by following the 5x5 workout routine. I highly recommend it. There are good apps for the 5x5 workout routine in the app stores too. https://stronglifts.com/5x5/

Go to the gym three times a week for 1 hour and follow the 5x5 routine. You're always sore, but after a while you get used to it. Now I enjoy it a lot. Find a buddy to go to the gym with; that helps a lot.
